A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
意义
Meaning
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
如果整个宇宙没有意义，我们就永远不会发现它没有意义:就像如果宇宙中没有光，因此没有眼睛的生物，我们就永远不会知道它是黑暗的。黑暗将没有意义。
There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.
如果认为别人有责任赋予你生命的意义和观点，那就太幼稚了……相反，真正的成人观点是，我们的生活是有意义的，是充实的，是精彩的，就像我们自己选择的那样。
What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
人真正需要的不是一种没有紧张的状态，而是为一个值得自己去追求的目标而奋斗。他所需要的不是不惜任何代价释放紧张，而是一种潜在意义的召唤，等待着他去实现。
I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
当人们说某件事是真实的或不真实的，或正常的或不正常的时候，我有一个问题。对我来说，这些话的意思是非常私人和主观的。我一直很困惑，从来没有一个明确的理解这些词的意思。
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."
一个人如果意识到自己对一个深情地等待着他的人所承担的责任，或者意识到自己对一项尚未完成的工作所承担的责任，他就永远不能抛弃自己的生命。他知道他的存在的“为什么”，并将能够忍受几乎任何“如何”。
Everything has a sort of double meaning for me, there's the ordinary everyday meaning of things, and the imaginary meaning about it all, and I wanted to bring these things together, and in this first big Resurrection of mine you have a good example of this sort of thing.
对我来说，每件事都有双重意义，有普通的日常意义，也有想象的意义，我想把这些东西结合起来，在我的第一次大复兴中，你有一个很好的例子。
Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing.
也许只有像我这样的艺术世界主义者才能赋予像鞠躬这样简单和愚蠢的东西更深的意义。但是，对我们来说，每当人们重复一个姿势或一个小舞蹈，无论是单独还是在一起，我们都能看到它的意义。意象主义和无言的语言是我们的东西。
When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.
当我们明白，人是唯一必须创造意义的动物，必须为中性的本性开辟一条道路时，我们就已经明白了爱的本质。爱是一个动物的问题，它必须找到生命，与自然对话，才能体验自己的存在。
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
看来，勇气就是克服危险、不幸、恐惧和不公的力量，同时继续在内心确认，生活及其所有的痛苦都是美好的;一切都是有意义的，即使在某种意义上超出了我们的理解;总有明天。
If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load that is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together. So, if therapists wish to foster their patients' mental health, they should not be afraid to increase that load through a reorientation toward the meaning of one's life.
如果建筑师想要加固一个破旧的拱门，他们会增加施加在上面的荷载，因为这样各个部分就能更牢固地连接在一起。因此，如果治疗师希望培养他们的病人的心理健康，他们不应该害怕通过对人生意义的重新定位而增加这种负担。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
如果你继续寻找幸福所包含的东西，你将永远不会幸福。如果你在寻找生命的意义，你就永远不会活下去。
The truth is, when I got started in this business, it wasn't because I had a full understanding of the importance of the business, but because I thought it was fun. I found it exciting. It fulfilled me, whatever it was that I was looking for.
事实上，当我开始做这个生意的时候，并不是因为我完全理解这个生意的重要性，而是因为我觉得它很有趣。我发现它令人兴奋。它满足了我，不管我在寻找什么。
Just because you can say whatever you want, doesn't mean you always should.
你想说什么就说什么，但这并不意味着你总是应该说什么。
Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked.
最后，人不应该问他生命的意义是什么，而是他必须认识到是他被问。
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
生命的意义在于发现你的天赋。生活的目的就是把它送给别人。
When i fall a sleep texting you, it doesn't mean i just got bored. It means i liked texting you so much that i didn't want to stop.
当我在睡梦中给你发短信时，这并不意味着我感到无聊。意思是我太喜欢给你发短信了，不想停下来。
